TEAC/Tascam PortaStudio Inspired 4-Track Cassette Tape Emulator Template

First 4 channels are for AUv3 instruments or Hardware inputs

Record the output of the instrument/hardware into the Gauss instance on each channel (you might want to turn on ‘Monitor’ in Gauss)

Once recorded, you can then eject each instrument/input and let Gauss playback in a loop (adjusting playback speed/direction etc)

Choose the Delay and Reverb Bus channel FX. I’ve included some of my favourite AUv3 effects for analog tape machine emulation (ChowTapeModel – Free), vintage tape delay/echo machine recreations (K7D), delays (OtherDesertCities and yaleD – Reverse Delay) and reverbs (ToneBoosters, FAC Alteza, Bleass and Rymdigare). You don’t need to use these, just eject them and use whatever you want

Adjust the Delay and Reverb Sends for each of the 4 main channels

All 4 clean/dry original instrument channel signals go to the Master output channel, Mix Bus (C), so you can control how much of each channel you let through in the mix

The output of the Delay(s), Mix Bus (A) and Reverb(s), Mix Bus (B) also go to the Master output channel, Mix Bus (C), so you can control how much of the FX you let through in the mix

I’d recommend adding a Limiter to the Master output channel, Mix Bus (C), just to be safe. I’ve included a copy of Barricade set to -3db. You don’t need to use this, just eject it and use whatever you want
